Humans spend about a third of their lives asleep. But every once in a while, anxious thoughts can keep us from dozing off. It happens to us all from time to time. But for some people, not being able to sleep is a constant problem. Other people, meanwhile, sleep way too much. Sleep disorders can be harmful both mentally and physically for the person who is suffering. Fortunately, there is treatment that can allow your body to return to a regularly scheduled dreamland. The lives of millions of kids are affected by mental illness. And yet it's all too common for kids to feel like they are alone with their problems. Whether you're seeking information for family, friends, or yourself, these books help explain the challenges faced by people with mental disorders.
